[alhambramoors89]

i live in tucson az....love this song :D

[sourisvoleur]

Just for fun: This song was an "answer song" to "You're a Thousand Miles Away" by the Heartbeats (1957). The lead singer of the Heartbeats, James "Shep" Sheppard, went on to be the lead singer of this group, and they recorded this song in 1961.

The sax on this recording is inspired.

[tedkay]

thanks for the triva! nice stuff!! who knew?

[Azishome]

Glad they recorded both of them. This one reminds me of my dad. Didn't get to say goodbye to him. I miss you, Dad.

[BRONZE842]

a timeless classic. This group sang with great harmony.

[Menollys9]

My dad used to sing this to me all the time when i was little. He passed away at Thanksgiving, and this was the song I would have used for our dance at my wedding. I hear it and i think of, and cry for, him.

Thank you for posting this song. It's beautiful.

[edb081904]

@Menollys9 What a beautiful sentiment.... how lucky you are to have this memory of your father! I'm so sorry he's not here with you for your wedding dance.

[halfnesianhalfsouful]

@Menollys9 sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my mother right before thanksgiving of 09' so I know how you feel, but this song is a beautiful memory to have of him.

[Mercurium67]
